Cultivating Immortality in the Winter Wasteland.

Chapter 815 The Dao Ning Incident
Chen Wang opened the book of gods and demons in the cave.

The Divine Demon Ode is a cultivation technique for those in the Tribulation Transcending stage, and also a legacy of the Great Zhou royal family.

Upon seeing it, Chen Wang was immediately shocked. His eyes widened in disbelief, and he muttered to himself, "This is impossible. How could it be such a coincidence?"

The Great Zhou's inherited Divine Demon Ode actually records the Great Dao of Gods and Demons, which moved Chen Wang somewhat.

He read it with complete concentration.

Although the contents recorded in the Ode to Gods and Demons are very profound, they are not as obscure and difficult to understand as the Scripture of Chaos.

Perhaps this is also because Chen Wang himself cultivated both the divine and demonic paths.

At this moment, he verified the cultivation method recorded in the Divine Demon Ode and found that it was much more detailed and profound than the Divine Demon Dao he cultivated.

Chen Wang did not have a systematic cultivation method when he was cultivating before, so his cultivation was relatively rough. The parts that he found obscure and difficult to comprehend before suddenly became clear after reading the Divine Demon Ode. He also became unconsciously engrossed in it.

The divine path and the demonic path correspond to and corroborate each other.

Chen Wang was extremely talented, and he gradually discovered that the Great Zhou Dynasty had always cultivated the divine path and had no interest in the demonic path.

They govern the country by law, unite the people, and take the nation's destiny as their foundation; this is also a different kind of way of spreading the faith.

Chen Wang was somewhat moved. Although no one in the Great Zhou had truly cultivated the two paths of gods and demons, they had only cultivated a variant of the divine path. Even so, the Great Zhou was still a super power in the Dao Ning world.

Chen Wang even suspected that this Book of Gods and Demons was not created by the original ancestor, but that the original ancestor might have been the one who cultivated the true path of gods and demons.

Chen Wang's heart stirred.
"Wouldn't the ancestral body of the Great Ancestor be a form of deity?"

Chen Wang was also somewhat shocked when he recalled it. This Great Dao was really too mysterious, and it could actually give rise to other variations.

Chen Wang verified this path of gods and demons, and his demonic cultivation also advanced by leaps and bounds.

At this moment, demon kings appeared in his cave. They were no more than three feet tall, but their aura was extremely fierce. Some of them held large swords, while others held serrated magical weapons such as golden wheels. Various ferocious scenes appeared around Chen Wang.

The next moment, Chen Wang's heart stirred, and all these demon kings disappeared, transforming into gods, some standing, some sitting, some wearing golden armor, some riding cranes or dragons, and one by one, the gods appeared around Chen Wang.

This was the thought in Chen Wang's mind, and also the Dao landscape of the Great Dao of Gods and Demons.

Chen Wang cultivated the Dao of Gods and Demons to an extremely high level in just three months.

At this moment, he broke out of the cave and was overjoyed, his state of mind greatly improved.

He has achieved extremely high levels of mastery in both the Dao of Life and Death and the Dao of Gods and Demons, reaching the peak of the Integration Stage.

The power of faith from all the heavens and myriad realms was also continuously enhancing his divine path. In other words, as Chen Wang breathed in and out, his divine and demonic paths were growing. As his divine path grew, his demonic path also grew.

Chen Wang's greatest realization after cultivating the Divine Demon Origin was the simultaneous cultivation of gods and demons.

At this point, the two paths were no longer indistinguishable; as long as Chen Wang's divine path improved, his demonic path would also improve.

"This is the true path to godhood and demonhood," Chen Wang murmured to himself.

Chen Wang's current demonic cultivation has even surpassed that of Liu Changkong, who came from the Great Yan Kingdom.

After he emerged from the pass, he saw the Yu sisters guarding outside and asked, "What's wrong? Why have you been guarding outside my cave for so long?"

Yu Qingdai said aggrievedly, "Since we arrived, Uncle has been in seclusion for several months. Is there anything we sisters have done to displease him?"

Yu Qianzhi also stared longingly at Chen Wang.

Chen Wang couldn't help but smile as he looked at the two of them. He stepped forward and embraced them on either side, his hands stroking Yu Qingdai's slender waist.

Yu Qingdai blushed, but she still bit her lip as she looked at Chen Wang.

Chen Wang smiled and said, "How could that be? I made a deal with your father. He let me learn the Great Zhou's inherited cultivation techniques. I have gained some insights, which is why I have been in seclusion for several months."

Yu Qingdai said softly, "Uncle actually explained it to me. It seems that I still hold some place in your heart."

Chen Wang smiled and said, "That's natural."

Yu Qianzhi said, "Congratulations on your achievement, Uncle."

Chen Wang said, "Oh, so your level of cultivation allows you to tell whether my Great Dao has improved?"

Yu Qianzhi shook her head and said, "Of course I can't tell, but Uncle looked happy as soon as he came out of seclusion. What else could it be but an achievement?"

Chen Wang chuckled and patted Yu Qianzhi's bottom. Yu Qianzhi's bottom was round and perky, and he slapped it hard.
With a snap, Yu Qianzhi's face flushed red, and her eyes seemed to mist over.

Chen Wang said with a smile, "Why are you calling me 'Uncle' so often now?"

Yu Qianzhi said softly, "Uncle and Father Emperor are of the same generation. Besides, this is the generational order personally set by Father Emperor. How dare I mess it up?"

Chen Wang laughed: "Good niece, I just came out of seclusion today, so I'll take you to meet the other sisters. When I have some free time, your uncle will pamper you properly."

Yu Qianzhi blushed and said softly, "We have already met the other sisters, but we have been guarding outside the cave for the time being."

Chen Wang said, "Oh? You've already met."

At this moment, Yu Qingdai and Yu Qianzhi clearly understood their own positions and had no intention of competing for favor with Chen Wang's other wives and concubines.

They were able to inherit their mother's legacy and grow up despite not being favored by her.

They possess an exceptional ability to read people and their interactions with others.

He had a very harmonious relationship with Chen Wang's several Daoist partners.

When Chen Wang emerged from the pass, Xu Yun, Gu Xinyue, Fairy Qingwei, Feng Lin, and Rouge also rushed over upon hearing the news.

Chen Wang said, "Now that I have cultivated the Great Dao of Gods and Demons, I have gained some insights, which is a gratifying thing. However, I haven't paid attention to the outside world recently. Has there been any movement lately?"

Feng Lin said, "There haven't been any new reports in the past few months. There was just a conflict between the Bodhi Holy Land and the Ancient Immortal Holy Land. The experts from both sides clashed, and about a hundred cultivators died, including a Nascent Soul cultivator."

Chen Wang was somewhat surprised to hear this.

"Oh, why are the Ancient Immortal Holy Land and the Bodhi Holy Land in conflict?"

In his view, the old monks of Bodhi Holy Land were always indifferent to worldly affairs and very rigid.

The disciples of Bodhi Holy Land are mostly like him, rarely causing trouble. It's probably because the people from the Ancient Immortal Holy Land have stirred up some trouble again.

Chen Wang had already witnessed the domineering nature of the people from the Ancient Immortal Holy Land overseas.

Sure enough, Feng Lin explained that the reason was an ancient cave dwelling.

The mountain appeared suddenly, seemingly manifested from the void after being shaken by something. Thick fog covered eight hundred miles, attracting many cultivators to investigate.

This place happened to be located at the border between the Bodhi Holy Land and the Ancient Immortal Holy Land. Disciples of the Bodhi Holy Land went in first to investigate and seemed to have obtained some ancient notes and cultivation methods, but they clashed with the people of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land. It was just a minor conflict, but unexpectedly, the people of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land were extremely domineering, mobilizing experts to kill all the disciples of the Bodhi Holy Land.

Although the matter was handled discreetly, it still leaked out. The Bodhi Holy Land sent a high-ranking monk to investigate, but the monk was ambushed and killed on the way.

After a few back and forth, the conflict escalated, and both sides sent some experts to challenge each other to a duel at Wushan, resulting in both sides suffering heavy losses.

This has caused quite a stir recently.

The martial arts techniques that had been passed down have also disappeared without a trace, and neither side acknowledges that they are in their possession.

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow and said, "I knew it must be the people from the Ancient Immortal Holy Land who were provoking us. These people are domineering and have already stepped one foot into the demonic path."

Chen Wang then asked, "Isn't that manual in the hands of the Bodhi Holy Land? Why don't they acknowledge it?"

Feng Lin shook her head. "I don't know about that. It seems that it was snatched away halfway through, and then there were several struggles over it, which eventually led to the notebook disappearing without a trace."

Chen Wang shook his head and laughed, "It's a complete mess. Let's not worry about these two holy lands. Let them fight if they want."

With experts at the Integration Stage from both the Bodhi Sacred Land and the Ancient Immortal Sacred Land present, there is unlikely to be any major conflict.

Although the fighting is fierce and a Nascent Soul cultivator has died, it will not escalate into a decisive battle between the two major forces.

Chen Wang inquired further and found that there was indeed nothing happening in the Great Heat Heaven; everything was calm and peaceful.

Chen Wang didn't interfere much, and he had a barbecue with the women on the back mountain.

White clouds drift lazily by, and a gentle breeze blows softly.

A group of beautiful women flitted around Chen Wang, playfully teasing and laughing, a truly pleasing sight.

Chen Wang was sitting on a small bamboo stool, turning the barbecue in his hands, without using any magic power.

In Chen Wang's words, this thing needs to be in its original state, otherwise it loses its soul.

At this moment, Chen Wang grilled a batch of lamb skewers, sprinkled them with cumin, and the aroma was irresistible.

After it was baked, he didn't call anyone and started eating by himself.

Xu Yun, with her sharp eyes, suddenly noticed and shouted, "Oh, my husband, you've been stealing food!"

Chen Wang said with a smile, "I didn't steal any food; I just tasted it for you."

Xu Yun immediately stopped chasing and fighting with the other sisters, came to Chen Wang's side, snatched the grilled meat skewers from Chen Wang's hand, and said angrily, "Judging from your posture just now, you were clearly going to eat all these meat skewers with both hands. Luckily, I noticed."

She snatched the meat skewer, took a bite, and smeared the seasoning on her face. She looked incredibly cute and innocent.

It is truly remarkable that Xu Yun, having cultivated to such a level, can still maintain this state of mind.

Chen Wang smiled and said, "You have sharp eyes. I clearly saw that you weren't looking this way just now."

Xu Yun said smugly, "The taste of well-baked and uncooked food is different. Do you think I can't tell the difference?"

She stuck her tongue out at Chen Wang, then smiled and shared the meat skewers with her friends.

Chen Wang was also somewhat helpless, so he picked up another skewer of lamb and started grilling it.

The Yu sisters, Yu Qingdai and Yu Qianzhi, watched with great envy.

They were always cautious and timid. Although they would sometimes muster up the courage to act coquettishly towards Chen Wang, they would only go so far as to do so. They would never dare to be as willful as Xu Yun and do whatever they wanted.

They could tell that Chen Wang valued these women highly.

To gain a foothold in the harem, one must cultivate good relationships with everyone.

Chen Wang drank his wine by himself, watching the women around him chase and play, living a very relaxed life.

Several days passed in this way. Chen Wang did not cultivate. Every day, apart from eating, drinking and having fun with the women around him, he would fish alone by the river.

More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye before Chen Wang resumed his cultivation.

The women no longer stayed on the back mountain. They all held positions at Yunshan Academy and had some issues with their cultivation, so they dispersed.

Another four or five days passed.

Chen Wang heard that another battle had broken out between the two holy lands, Bodhi Holy Land and Ancient Immortal Holy Land. Each side had sent five Nascent Soul stage cultivators to duel and come to a conclusion to the battle.

The outcome of the duel determines the winner, and right and wrong are all decided by this battle.

The process was quite tortuous; four of the five experts sent by the Bodhi Holy Land were defeated by the Nascent Soul stage experts from the Ancient Immortal Holy Land.

The gap between the two sides shouldn't have been so large, but the result was astonishing.

Just when everyone thought that the Ancient Immortal Holy Land would definitely suppress the Bodhi Holy Land this time,
The Bodhi Brothers' Divine Zen Monk displayed extraordinary power, defeating not only Yan Huifeng, the elder of the Ancient Immortal Holy Land who had previously defeated four eminent monks, but also...

He even single-handedly defeated four top masters in succession.

The debate ended with the victory of Bodhi Holy Land, and Ancient Immortal Holy Land was forced to relinquish its right to explore Wushan.

The news spread quickly, and people everywhere were talking about it, causing quite a stir.

It should be noted that while the high monks of Bodhi Holy Land may not have unparalleled offensive power, their defense is the strongest among those of the same realm.

Their body-refining techniques are extremely powerful. Cultivators of the same realm, without particularly powerful magic weapons, simply cannot break through their defenses and can only keep at it.

However, in this battle, Yan Huifeng, who was not ranked particularly high in the Ancient Immortal Holy Land, defeated four experts from the Bodhi Holy Land in succession with a powerful divine ability that he had never seen before, and became famous in one battle.

If it weren't for the divine power unleashed by the Zen monk of Bodhi Holy Land, Bodhi Holy Land would have been trampled underfoot by the Ancient Immortal Holy Land this time.

Chen Wang was somewhat moved upon hearing the news, but the smile on his face soon disappeared.

"That's not right. If the people from the Ancient Immortal Holy Land were this strong, the people from other holy lands would have known about it long ago."

This time, it's not just about determining a winner, but also about vying for ownership of the Wushan ruins. Both sacred sites will undoubtedly take this struggle very seriously.

"They had a certain understanding of the other party's situation, which is why they sent out corresponding experts to fight. However, the Bodhi Holy Land suddenly suffered a shock defeat and almost lost to the Ancient Immortal Holy Land. It seems that the problem lies in that kind of supernatural power."

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow. If the Ancient Immortal Holy Land had mastered this supernatural power long ago, other forces would have known about it by now.

However, if the supernatural power I recently acquired could not have been cultivated to this level, it would be impossible to defeat cultivators from the Bodhi Holy Land at the same stage.

He frowned, sensing that something was amiss.
